True Alpha (Jikook)

Chapter 49

Jungkook's P.O.V.

The mutiny of our town was a success. 

Walking through the trail of blood of the enemies, I studied the bloody brutality. The shadows around the clouds casting us with an ominous tint. 

Taehyung and Taemin, both of them following behind me as a mass of men gathered around the edges, all of them war ridden, yet more lively than ever before.

It was a massacre, Taehyung and Taemin did not leave any guard alive. The messengers had fled leaving behind their staff, but that was what we had wanted, the whole lab and experimentorium were burned down, saving the survivors which were all grateful omegas and some of them beta or alpha even.

We didn't find Halsey, but Taemin did find a few dots to connect.

People like Gere, Thomas.... they had escaped as well, but with low forces and so many lives at stake, it was a good achievement we have had until now.

"I apologize for the disguise," I announced as I came to a stop around the large town square. The people crowding one another to take a better look at me, some eyeing me with a sense of pride and reverence, Xor was one of them. "You all are finally free of the shackles binding you to this land. You all can simply leave and never come back here to this dreadful place, but... is that really what you want to do?"

I asked with a growl at the end, I was sure the dark swirls of mist around my claws and legs was enough to scare away even the grown, yet they all looked too stunned with fascination to mind the little detail. It was too much for me, since I wasn't used to all the kind attention.

"Are you all willing to do a job for me?"

There was an instant echo of 'hai' from them, even if I was speaking in my own tongue, they didn't seem to mind it at all.

"I want you all to spread the word about me, about you, about this place, what happened and how you all were able to fight back through it. I want to hear the tale of your survival through not your mouth, but other's. It is time to unite and fight back, starting today, we are going all out against them. Protect your brothers, survive the war, and raise a good sense of humanity in those who seem to have lost the way."

The applaud and cheers at the end of my little speech were astounding, the air was full of this... gentleness that I had never felt before. The unity and strength, the vibes, the sense of pride, they were all new to me, but it did feel good, to stand here and watch the first step of my life unfold towards a new life I'did treasure.

Taehyung patted my back with a reassuring smile. "Ya did good, we proud of ya little Jungkookie~"

"I am too." I smiled back, a true genuine smile I had never had hope of having a year back.

After returning back from the square, I went to my room upstairs and saw that Taehyung was already done. He was moving out with his minimum luggage, discarding what was only bulk.

We had seen a lot of presents at our doorsteps, a lot of them... but Tae hyung had asked Xor to give them away to those who needed to survive instead, like those omegas and others who had been captured all this time.

Xor had understood our need, we couldn't take these gifts back with us, it would be too bulky, so the best way to utilize it without offending anyone was to give it away to those who truly needed it more than us.

The door closed with a soft click and I sighed loudly, exhausted and needing a proper wash to eradicate any traces of bad blood I still had on my now retracted claws. The nails chipping with red, an indication of our mutiny.
